Arts Award

What is Arts Award?

Arts Award is a nationally recognised qualification in the arts, moderated by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England.

The award supports young people to develop as artists and arts leaders. It aims to inspire anyone aged 7-25 to enjoy and explore the arts, equipping them with life skills that will support their education and future employment. It is also a lot of fun!

Here at Epping Forest District Museum, we have been running an Arts Award program since 2016.

The resources on this page have been developed, with the help of local teachers, to facilitate the running of Arts Award Discover and Arts Award Explore.

You are welcome to use these resources to support your own arts award journey. You can find arts activities, discover artists and learn more about Epping Forest District Museum as an arts organisation.

As we continue to create resources, we will add them to this page, so check in from time to time to find something new.
